NeuroPace: How the RNS System Works

Similar to a pacemaker that monitors and responds to heart rhythms, the NeuroPace RNS System is the first and only medical device that can monitor and respond to brain activity. Once your doctor programs the NeuroPace RNS System to detect and respond to your brain activity, it automatically delivers treatment when you need it. Here’s how it works:

1) MONITORS: The RNS System constantly monitors your brainwaves, looking for unusual activity that may lead to a seizure. It works all the time, even while you are sleeping.

2) DETECTS: The device is personalized to recognize the electrical patterns specific to your brain, rapidly identifying unusual activity that can lead to a seizure.

3) RESPONDS: Within milliseconds of detecting unusual activity, the device sends brief pulses to instantly disrupt this activity and normalize your brainwaves, often before you can feel seizure symptoms.
